Adding mods by file path rather than drag and drop #152

Open wizhi opened 2 months ago

wizhi commented 2 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I (seemingly) cannot currently add a new mod without dragging and dropping an archive onto the window. This plays very poorly with my (admittedly fringe) setup, in which I don't use a graphical file manager (hence am unable to drag and drop files).

Describe the solution you'd like Add a simple "add mod" button, which would then prompt me for a full file path to a mod archive to load.

Describe alternatives you've considered Alternatively, the "add mod" button could open a graphical file selector, although this might add complexity in implementation. Furthermore, I guess I can install a graphical file manager - which I'll do for now. :sweat_smile:

I'm in a similar situation. I'm using Lampray with my Steam Deck. I really don't like the built-in desktop controls, so I'm using X11 forwarding. Right now, I have to forward Lampray and Dolphin, which gets a bit clunky (especially since I'm using i3wm, so I have to do some additional window management on top of everything else). I'd love to be able to just to open a file dialog box, or be able to just enter a path. I also recognize that this is a problem of my own making :sweat_smile: so I'll just continue with my solution for now. I just figured I'd chime in.

I also want to say that I really appreciate your work here. I was struggling with BG3MM and Vortex. It's a huge relief to have something native that just works.
